A friend who grew up in the punk scene confirmed to me that Nazis canβt help outing themselves and you gotta turf them out right away or they bring friends next time and it really feels like we gotta learn to do that with every aspect of society.
it just feels so horrible we feel powerless we've tried fighting, we've tried surrendering we've tried ignoring we've tried building israel doesn't let you exist that's it, our choice is fast death or faster death
From a friend in Beirut this morning, who in the last few days has seen several Israel missile strikes within walking distance of their home.
"Cars are the most absurd means of transport in a city. They are parked 95 per cent of the time. It takes two tonnes to move someone who weighs 70 kilogrammes. And the denser the city, the more absurd it is."
As a point of comparison, the US spent $21 billion in FY 2022 to feed billions of breakfasts and lunches to kids in schools across our whole country for an entire year under the universal school meals program that was later discontinued.
Orville the creamsicle cat is peering closely at the camera with his big golden eyes open wide, and a bit of his pink tongue poking out.

A black cat battles human hands for dominion over the pile of clean laundry.
he will defend his territory (pile of clean laundry) to the last
orange cat with front paws up on a table
i caught him in the middle of climbing onto the table to check if we were having anything he wanted for dinner
photo of an all-white male cat sleeping in a cardboard box, which is labeled "Kirkland signature salted sweet cream butter". the cat is resting his head on one of the box corners, with his neck at an awkward up-angle. still, he looks completely content, as his eyes are closed...
same as the other photo description in terms of the white cat and cardboard box, except this time, the cat is resting his... nose? upper lip? against the same box corner as before. this does not look comfortable either, but he STILL seems content.......
he is salted sweet cream butter......
Increasingly clear that the future of the species hinges on the American/Israeli empire collapsing before the climate does
Gus is a handsome loaf on the office table. His whiskers look wonderful
Echo is a contemplative loaf on the office cat tree. Her front legs have disappeared

every GOP administration since Reagan has been more and more fascist, and every Democratic administration since Reagan has done fuck all about it beyond serving as a pause before the next giant lurch to the right
An opinion that makes you a fringe radical in this country is that the life of a person who is not an American citizen is not an abstraction, and is worth just as much as that of an American citizen
striking photo of a black and white tuxedo cat. The entire photo is almost entirely a velvety black except a curving line of white fur and the cat's gold eye which are illuminated by a sliver of sunbeam.
Stunning portrait of The Morsel by my boyfriend.
In our latest, Mariame Kaba @prisonculture.bsky.social & Andrea Ritchie @dreanyc123.bsky.social on how to understand the spectacular violence of Trumpβs ICE surges as an extension of the violence of everyday policing, and why to abolish ICE we must abolish the police

Jared is correct. Read Theory
"Whatever states are today, they are not what they once wereβin part because, as Dasgupta chronicles, the state now faces serious competition for center stage in the organization of human society."

Would it have been so much worse if it had been a nuke? Consider the fact that birth deficiencies and rates of leukemia and cancer in Iraq, post 2003- invasion, are worse than what was observed in Hiroshima. In Japan, rates of leukemia rose by 660% in the years following the bomb. In Falluja, it increased by 2,200%. The toxicity of war has never been greater, and we are in no way reckoning with the scope of the horror that's been unleashed.
The real damage comes years later, with elevated cancer rates, leukemia clusters, respiratory disease, cardiovascular failure, neurological damage, reproductive issues.
This is chemical warfare, with delayed carnage. Worse than radiation sickness.
I am ashamed to be American today.

a picture of a huge, low, heavy cloud of black oil over Tehran
This is the cloud of oil currently hovering over Tehran, released when the US bombed the city's oil depots. A stew of particulate matter, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, benzene, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, heavy metals & volatile organic compounds is raining down into the city right now. 1/2
I find it extremely difficult to believe that anyone experiencing what honestly looks like the apocalypse is going to regard it as a form of liberation or that anyone responsible for it actually cares about how Iranians regard it at all.
This quote has been with me every day since I first heard it and I love her so much for saying it.
love how we killed the old, frail anti-nuke ayatollah just to have him replaced with his young, healthy son who wants nukes and who just had his father, mother, wife, and child murdered on the same day by his mortal enemy. surely this will bring peace to the region
You can't solve any of this in a meaningful or lasting way if you keep capitalism. Trump is only a symptom and replacing him with some neoliberal will just apply a congenial bandaid to the status quo for 4-8 years before the dial is cranked even further.
Imagine all the cool, fast trains we could have with the billions we spend on bombs.
I'm not suggesting this is an open secret within the climate science community, but it's remarkable how little impact this sort of research is generating. Because if the rate of warming really has *doubled* then you can kiss goodbye to 2Β°C. www.carbonbrief.org/pace-of-glob...
I fear Palestine just showed the ruling class they do not need to manufacture consent anymore. The anti imperialist movement in this country is too primitive and fragmented to be effective right now in a meaningful sense - in a way that actually stops the bloodshed
The world will not have peace unless the USA falls
